Paddock Park Restoration Project

The City of Niagara Falls is pleased to inform you that Paddock Park is planned to undergo a restoration. Paddock Park was one of the 34 sites inventoried and included in the Woodland Management Plan. Recently this site lost the majority of its trees as a result of the Emerald Ash Borer Infestation. Efforts to restore some of what was lost are under way. Feedback from the Public Information Center held on April 28, 2016, was supportive of the proposed concept to restore this area to a naturalized woodlot. Please see below information for updates.

Updates

Below is a list of updates for the Paddock Park Project, please feel free to e mail or call us if you have any questions or concerns.

June 29th, 2016

An Ontario Land Surveyor has completed an official land survey for us which has helped to understand where the property line is. A link to this survey can be found below.

July 8th-20th, 2016

The information gathered from the land survey has been used to identify the property line and measure 10 feet out to mark a maintenance buffer that was initially marked with white spray paint. Following that orange stakes were placed to outline the maintenance buffer and also serve as a guide for residents and the grading contractor (to come) to clarify areas where there are few bollards, as the property lines forms large sweeping curves in some areas.

August 5th, 2016

Presently we are working on bringing in a grading contractor who will come in to complete some work that will allow for more positive drainage of the stream (as it pools in some places), clean up some areas and also work to ensure that water is draining away from neighbors backyards as best as possible.

August 23rd, 2016

Removal of invasive tree and shrub species is near complete. Grading work by contract will commence shortly. This will include the clean-up and re-alignment of the drainage swale. In addition City staff are identifing trees to relocate within the park. Relocations are needed to accommodate the maintenance buffer in places as well as the proposed grading work.

Coming Soon!

The City of Niagara Falls is excited to lead a TD Tree Days planting at Paddock Park (4381 Paddock Trail Dr) on October 22, 2016 starting at 9:00am. Approximatly 180 trees and shrubs are going to be planted and we would love your help! To sign up to volunteer please visit www.tdtreedays.com.
